Their outside garden is very pretty and they also have seating outside in the front. Plenty of parking. Recommend

An wonderful local gastropub that servers quality wholesome food…read more The serve is great and very helpful in suggesting the right dish for your needs...we weren't ordering wine, so I can't comment on that part. I had the Beef Sunday Roast (see pictures) which would have to be one of the best roasts in North London, especially for the price (cira. £14). My friend has the Beef Burger, this wasn't the best burger, though a lot better than most. If you're a big burger fan, I would suggest not getting the burger and to go with another option. The chips with the burger, where terrific! Another highlight was that we could take our puppy, and they even had dog biscuits for her..which we didn't even have to ask for. It's a very large pub, though feel very warm inside (I could imagine it being very wonderful in the winter). I would recommend this gastropub for hanging out with friends.

A lovely hide away pub with great food, a wonderful garden overlooking open fields and charming…read moreowners, why eat at Pizza Express when you can enjoy this? We used to come to this 'back water' pub 20 years ago when the food was great, in recent years it has been a sad reflection of British Pub life with an empty car park and we have avoided it. We saw that it had reopened as a pub/pizza restaurant and popped in for lunch yesterday on a bright sunny day. The dark old pub has been transformed, the new owners who have been here now for a year have created a beautiful garden with lots of tables overlooking the wide open fields and the food was great. Mainly pizza and salads but they also do an 'oven baked breakfast' which I am just itching to try and take away. This bright and happy pub restaurant deserves to be very successful, looking forward to coming back with the kids very soon.

What an absolute treat. I went here with the boyff for…read morepost shopping dinner and i really liked the place. The sun was shining, so although we booked a table in the restaurant, the friendly staff asked if we wanted to have our dinner in the garden, so we did. The views are like something out of "Old England" with rolling green fields and trees and you could easily just while the hours away, relaxing, drinking cool refreshing drinks. For starters the bruschetta was fresh and really tasty chowed that down quick as you like, the boyff had chicken strips, which we perfectly okay, but nothing special to be honest and I think it was re-constituted chicken and not chicken breast. For mains the list of pizzas were not your typical type and there was an excellent selection and quite random toppings you could ask for, since this place is raved for about it's pizza, I opted for Ingeus pizza - chicken, pepperoni, meatballs, onion and mozzerella - with extra gorgonzola cheese and green peppers. The boyff went for a pasta dish - penne, tomato and bechamel sauce with chorizo and peas. I enjoyed my pizza it was cooked very well and evenly. Although I got a bit of food envy with the boyffs pasta as that was really good. They welcome children and you could see the waitress taking time out to pick up children that had fallen over and run back and forth with jugs of squash for people's kids in the hot weather. Although at one point, there was a child that kept kicking a ball under our table and feet whilst we were eating, but I blame the parents and not the pub! The decor is lovely and well maintained, in the bar area, which is quite limited, - but perfectly formed!! - is a TV that they have some sport on, but it is on silent and tucked away, most definitely there if you want to keep an eye, but not at all giving this a sports bar feel. I thought it a bit random that I got a glass of wine in what I would say was a 1/2 pint Carlsberg glass, but there you have it. The whole place just had a relaxing friendly vibe to it and all the staff had smiles. This is definitely on my favourite local places to go to when wanting pizza/pasta. The prices are equivalent to those of the chain places, but here the atmosphere is nicer and the selection better. Make sure you do call up ahead though as a lot of the time they are fully booked.

My daughter has been in this…read moreplace on several occasions and upon our arrival yesterday (from Seattle, WA) she told us that she wanted us to try the Sunday Roast. We are not really familiar with traditional English dishes and to our surprise we are not disappointed! We ordered the Rare Rump of West Country Beef, Fennel incrusted Dingley Dell pork belly Roast, Lemon & Herb Chicken. All was served with roasted potatoes, honey glazed carrots, cabbage, celeriac purée, Yorkshire pudding with gravy. All the meats were tender and juicy, even the pork belly's skin was crunchy which I enjoyed very much! We also ordered an appetizer which is the shrimp ceviche. The taste is different from other ceviche I've tried, there's no taste of cilantro and the sauce is like thousand island salad dressing. But I will still recommend this pub because of their classic English style pub atmosphere, the feel is different when you're inside! The roasts were delicious! The service was amazing, we had a lovely experience here.

Service was excellent--we were seated quickly and were able to order quickly as well. We were checked up on throughout our meal. We ordered cauliflower cheese for a starter and then two beef roasts. Unfortunately the food itself wasn't that great--I thought the cauliflower cheese was quite bland and not that cheesy. The roast was just okay, it's not something I would try here again. Overall I feel that there are better roasts in the area. I might come back here in the future to try other dishes as the service was excellent.
